Dear Sir,

Is it mandatory to mention the date with the TIN number. We faced this issue at the check post. As far as I know, it is not mandatory as the details can be immediately retrieved once we enter the TIN number. Kindly give your opinion and support with the clause if any. Thank you in advance.
